IPSec-ESP: Encapsulating Security Payload for IP Security Suite

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

LancsNet IPsec-ESP Engine is designed to provide hardware acceleration of the ESP packet processing required to implement in IPSec compliant devices. The design offers straightforward for offloading ESP packet processing to hardware up to 25.6 Gbps while high-level protocols such as connection establishment/management, SA, Key exchange are run on embedded CPU. The core follows strictly recommendations from IETF RFC 4303/RFC 4301 and has been extensively tested in association with our products.
